It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 114 "The Real Boy"

After staying at home for three days, Xu Lai's ambition was tempered at home.

In the most free time, self-motivation is the greatest torture.

Xu Lai really wanted to work and work at home, but Xu's mother served him with delicious food and drinks, and wanted to chat with him whenever she was free, about his work, his situation, and the people around him.

Xu's mother didn't know anything about Xu Lai's things, but she just liked to listen to Xu Lai. Regardless of whether she understood it or not, she just wanted Xu Lai to tell her personally and then explain something to her, even though she He just responded vaguely.

Xu's father was much calmer. He didn't promote his son because he became a star, and he didn't ask him questions just because his son came home. It was like communicating with Xu before he came, but it was a little different. Yes, before Xu's father would never talk about "money" in front of Xu Lai, this time he went home and talked about money for the first time.

But talking about "money" doesn't mean that Xu Lai remembers to send money to his family when he is rich, but tells Xu Lai how much savings his family has, and how much he can pay if he wants to buy a house...

Xu Lai felt for the first time that he was treated as an adult.

But Xu Xia, Xu Lai's older sister, has nothing to say, she just said that she hoped that Xu Lai would work harder, work hard and earn more money, and jokingly said that she would lead her to live a good life...

Three days after returning home, Xu Lai set off from home again to Jiangsu for the second filming preparation, and left home just in time when his parents and family were still very kind to him. It was a perfect CD tutorial.

Regarding the second filming of "Singer-Composer", Xu Lai has already made preparations. Before that, he planned to let everyone get to know him for the first filming, and then start blowing up the scene in the second filming to ensure that he will not be caught. Therefore, the repertoire he prepared is a piece that requires high singing skills, charming lyrics, and unique arrangement. He plans to "explode" it when performing on stage.

But to his surprise, Xu Lai didn't need to think about whether he would be eliminated at all. The next candidate for elimination would be between Sun Yizhou and Ma Di. He was relieved to have stabilized, but at the same time, his plan would change slightly.

Of course, the second filming of "Blowing Up" was prepared long ago, so there is no need to make any changes. From the third scene onwards, he intends to sing according to his own ideas, such as writing a rock song to challenge Zheng Jun, write a full-fledged electronic dance music...

These are all things he wants to do.

He has also basically figured out the strength of other singers and composers now. The two people he may not be sure about are Hu Yanbin and Zheng Jun. He has quite an advantage in strength against other people, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

However, Xu Lai is not saying that the strength of other singer-songwriters is not good enough, but that for him, singer-songwriters with diverse styles are far behind him in all aspects, and singer-songwriters with similar strengths are different from him. The style is relatively limited, such as Chen Li, a good sister, or Huo Zun who can't get rid of his "immortal energy", which will somewhat make the audience feel a little tired, so Xu Lai is not too worried.

……

At this time, Xu Lai, who returned to the hotel arranged by the program team, was in the room thinking about how to write about young rock. On the other side, the promotional short video edited by the program team began to go online.

In the short promotional video, there are not only amazing short clips of singers’ songs, but also some interview tidbits. Xu Lai, a newcomer to the program group, has the most interview tidbits. The answer was edited into a separate short video and sent out, titled "Real Boy in the World".

Q: Xu Lai, what is your starting point for participating in this program?
"As you all know, I am good at writing songs, and I can sing pretty well. I have a little confidence in myself, so I came here, and then I met people and made friends along the way. Of course, there are also the ones who get the most money from the program group. reason."

……

Q: What are your hopes for the future?
"Be rich. Have a family that loves you, a few friends, food on the table, and a roof over your head. The previous few have all, and now there is still a house."

Q: So are you planning to buy a house first?

"You have to make money first."

Q: Xu Lai, you can now talk about your other purposes for coming to this show, besides "letting others know your name".

"Of course, the first thing to do is to promote the new album, and then earn some advertising fees. Idols are really poor at the beginning of their debut."

Q: When I talked about Madi going on a blind date to find a girlfriend, I think you seemed to be listening very seriously. Do you have any thoughts?

"Without any thought, I will die if I fall in love now."

Q: What if you really meet someone you like?
"That's not OK."

……

In the video, Xu Lai did not talk about ideals and illusory dreams, but put all the problems into reality, such as getting to know each other and making friends, making money to buy a house...

And when it comes to topics related to love, Xu Lai is also full of desire to survive, which makes people really find it interesting, and it is worthy of being "truth in the world".

However, this is just the effect of editing. It is not a malicious editing, but there are some deviations from the real situation. I don’t know if the fans will be disappointed because of these deviations after the show is broadcast.

But I have to say that once the short promotional video was released, Xu Lai really gained a lot of favor from passers-by. First, everyone lamented that the existence of such a real idol is simply a trend in the entertainment circle full of falsehoods and lies. Qingliu, and the second is that Xu Lai's fans popularized Xu Lai in the comment area. Passers-by saw that Xu Lai had made a lot of achievements after only a few months of debut, and their favorability for Xu Lai also doubled.

The popularity of the two songs released by Xu Lai has risen again because of this official short video released by "Singer-Composer". surge in a short period of time.

Anyway, Xu Lai was introduced by the program team, and he had a good program effect in the program, which made everyone interested in the program. This short video is extremely successful, and there are no deviations after editing. It wasn't a big deal at all, after all, it didn't damage Xu Lai's image. This publicity was also discussed with Xu Lai's manager.

Moreover, this can be regarded as Xu Lai's nature, but I didn't expect such a character design to be quite popular.

Because of this short video, Xu Lai's Weibo fans experienced another surge, finally breaking through the 200 million limit, which seemed less transparent.

　Second more.

　　Three is more difficult to give birth to, so I need to refuel later.
